a case of Importance TO Both Par
ties.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Mar. 3-The request
of the committee on privileges and elections
to be disehar from the further consldera-
tion of the Turpie case has been erroneous
interpreted to mean that the Republicans of
that committee have decided that there is no
ground for contest in the Indiana case The
fact is, however, that this report is only
made to conform to the rules of the Senate
which make il necessary, in order to contln-
ne case from one congress to another, to
report the papers before the close Of the last
session so that they can be properly laid be-
fore the new committee of the opening Con-
gress As matter of fact the intentions of
Republicans in the Senate is to object to the
swearing in Of Mr.. Turpie until his case has
been passed on by the committee on elec-
tions
1t is the custom Of the Senate to act favor
ably at the outset on the credentials of every
ons appearing with prima facie right to adj
mission. In the present case it will be urged
that Mr.. Turpie'S credentials are defective.
This claim is to be supported by extracts
from the decisions of the Indiana courts,
and by additional evidence to be sent here
by Republican members of the legislature,
tending to show that Mr.. Turpie was not
elected and that his credentials do not show
the real facts of what is claimed as his elec-
ton. 1t is the present purpose OF the Re
publicans i'm the Senate to have the contest
fully decided before Mr.. Tnrpie is allowed
to take his seat. Owing to the even division
of the Dext Senate this case is one OF great
interest and Importance on both sides.

The Now RIackweIl's Island Bridge

NEW YORK, March 3.-The bill for the
construction Of bridge across East River
at BlackwelPs Island, which was sent to the
President yesterday for his signature, is al
most sure TO receive the assent OF the chief
executive. According to the terms of the
bill the bridge must be built at right angles
with the channels Of the river. II shall not
be less than $50 feet elevation above mean
high water at the middle of each channel Of
the river and no part Of the lower chord of
the channel span less than 142 feet above
mean high water. The bridge Is to be con-
structed virtually under the direction Of the
Secretary Of War by the New York & Long
Island Bridge Company. All railroad COM
panies desiring to use the bridge shall be
entitled to equal rights and privileges on
payment Of reasonable compensation. In
case Of failure Of the bridge company and
railroad company to agree upon terms, the
same shall be fixed by the Secretary Of War
The bridge must be begun within three
years and completed within ten years from
the date Of this act. 1t Is estimated that the
structure will cost S10,00O,OO0, enough OF
which, it Is understood, has been already
subscribed to begin work at once. English

ReIfast,s Police Court.

The legal affairs committee took an action
this afternoon that will make some smoke in
the House of Representatives. Hitherto
there has been no case of two reports from
this committee; but this afternoon they di-
vided squarely over the enforcement of the
liquor law in the city of Belfast. Some
weeks ago some clergyman and temperance
people of Belfast came over to ask that the
trial justices in Belfast be given concurrent
jurisdiction with the judge of the Municipal
Court in actions in liquor cases. The cler-
gymen said that they had difficulty in getting
warrants against rumsellers, in fact that
three rum shops fourlshed right opposite the
police court So they wanted the law reme-
died so that the Judge could not throw obsta-
cles in their way. On the other hand the
best citizens of Belfast, with the mayor, sew
eral ex-mayors and other ex-officials, came
up to bear testimony to the good character
of the Judge. and to protest against the
granting of the concurrent jurisdiction to
the trial justices. In the course of their
testimony, however, it was brought out that
there were many rumshops in Belfast, and
that the Judge was technical lawyer, who
to say the least did not encourage the clergy
men in their crusade against them. Today
the committee considered the question finally

Important Meeting Of Railroad Men.

One Of the most important and largely at
tended conferences Of transeontinental rail-
road managers ever held In this city was
closed today at the Northern Pacific railroad
Office, after lasting two days. The Central
Pacific, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Missouri Pacific, and Southern Pacific were
represented. The conference discussed
questions, first, as to the requirements of the
Interstate commerce bill and second, how
transcontinental roads can get into harmony
with the law and meet the demands Of the
public sentiment. They decided that two
should be prepared, one under the long haul
clause and the other under the short haul
clause as they are understood by the rail-
roads. These tariffs are to take effect April
9th, and are to be submitted to the interstate
railroad commissioners.
